The stations are operated by the '''South Dakota Bureau of Information and Telecommunication''', a state agency. The studios and offices are located in the Allen Neuharth Media Center on the [[University of South Dakota]] campus in [[Vermillion, South Dakota]]. ==Radio== SDPB's history with radio can be traced back to [[May 22]], [[1922]] when KUSD signed on the air. But it wasn't until the 1970s that South Dakota Public Radio became a reality. Today KUSD-FM 89.7 in Vermillion serves as the flagship station for the nine-station network. South Dakota Public Radio stations in the lineup include: {| class="wikitable" |- !Location !Frequency ![[Call sign]] !Callsign Meaning |- |[[Vermillion, South Dakota|Vermillion]] |89.7 |[[KUSD]] |'''U'''niversity of '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |[[Rapid City, South Dakota|Rapid City]] |89.3 |[[KBHE-FM|KBHE]] |'''B'''lack '''H'''ills '''E'''ducational |- |[[Sioux Falls, South Dakota|Sioux Falls]] |90.9 |KCSD |'''C'''lark (as in "Lewis and Clark") '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |[[Aberdeen, South Dakota|Aberdeen]] |90.9 |KDSD |Aber'''D'''een '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |[[Brookings, South Dakota|Brookings]] |88.3 |KESD |'''E'''ducational '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |[[Eagle Butte, South Dakota|Eagle Butte]] |97.1 |KPSD |'''P'''ublic Broadcasting '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |[[Lowry, South Dakota|Lowry]] |91.9 |KQSD |'''Q'''uality '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |[[Reliance, South Dakota|Reliance]] |91.1 |KTSD |'''T'''elevision '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |[[Martin, South Dakota|Martin]] |102.5 |KZSD |'''Z'''enith '''S'''outh '''D'''akota |- |} South Dakota Public Radio also rebroadcasts on the following stations: {| class="wikitable" |- !Location !Frequency ![[Call sign]] |- |[[Aberdeen, South Dakota|Aberdeen]] |91.7 |[[K219CM-FM|K219CM]] |- |[[Belle Fourche, South Dakota|Belle Fourche]] |88.1 |[[K201AP-FM|K201AP]] |- |[[Edgemont, South Dakota|Edgemont]] |90.7 |[[K214BN-FM|K214BN]] |- |[[Hot Springs, South Dakota|Hot Springs]] |88.1 |[[K201AQ-FM|K201AQ]] |- |[[Huron, South Dakota|Huron]] |91.3 |[[K217CE-FM|K217CE]] |- |[[Lead, South Dakota|Lead]] |91.9 |[[K220BA-FM|K220BA]] |- |[[Mitchell, South Dakota|Mitchell]] |90.9 |[[K215AI-FM|K215AI]] |- |[[Pierre, South Dakota|Pierre]] |96.1 |[[K241AT-FM|K241AT]] |- |[[Pringle, South Dakota|Pringle]] |88.5 |[[K203BN-FM|K203BN]] |- |[[Spearfish, South Dakota|Spearfish]] |91.1 |[[K216AO-FM|K216AO]] |- |} South Dakota Public Radio was also broadcast in Vermillion on KUSD-AM 690 before that station went off the air during the 1990s.
